Today, our group embarked on an unforgettable journey through the diverse landscapes of Rincón de la Vieja National Park. Starting at the Las Pailas trail, we were greeted by bubbling mud pots and fumaroles, a vivid reminder of the park’s volcanic activity. The strong smell of sulfur contrasted beautifully with the lush greenery around us.
The highlight of the day was a sighting of a group of white-faced capuchin monkeys playfully moving through the canopy. Their acrobatics added an energetic touch to the serene environment. Along the trail, we identified tropical dry forest flora like guanacaste trees and gumbo limbo, marveling at their adaptations to this unique ecosystem.
At the seasonal waterfall, the group enjoyed a refreshing break. Bird enthusiasts were delighted to spot keel-billed toucans.
The day concluded with a breathtaking sunset on the Pacific Ocean, framed by a dramatic sky. This expedition showcased the park’s blend of volcanic wonders and rich biodiversity, leaving everyone eager to return for more adventures.
